Very nice! Do you have any recordings of unaccompanied suling (either solo or duet)? Back in the 70s a friend of mine returned from Indonesia with several cassettes of suling music that he can no longer find.
That's right Henk, I also have one or two solo suling Bali tapes. I don't have, nor know of, any unaccompanied Sundanese suling commercial recordings. There were and still are a number of outstanding suling Sunda players who have been featured on audio recordings since the 1920s, but not one is of a suling solo - such a music genre doesn't exist in West Java. Should I change that & record some solo tracks?
